Reading: Animals Make Us Human by Temple Grandin and Catherine Johnson

It’s an interesting read, and I am not sure I agree with the authors about dog behavior.  However, they don’t address beagles specifically.  The dogs they do discuss are dogs that have been bred to operate independently and beagles hunt as a pack and prefer being with other dogs.

She suggests that people only get a dog if they can be with them during the day, but I find our beagles do perfectly fine crated most of the day, and then are with us in the evening.  I have had beagles I could keep lose in a safe room, but right now I have a thunder sensitive beagle who escapes when there are thunderstorms in the area.
